Quote from: NoiseThe 'Jota' may be better, but the looks of the '66 Miura are much better i.m.o.

is the 288GTO better looking than the 308GTB?
is the lp400 better looking than the 5000qv?
is the W2 better looking than the W8?
is the p1800 banana bumper better looking than p1800 right bumper?

Anyway, the Miura exists on The crew, Driver, Forza Horizon & Motorsport, Asseto Corsa, Asphalt 8, Gran Turismo Sport, NFS World, Real Racing 3 ....etc
and I released it 12 years ago on High stakes, but it isn't immune to a blow of polish. ;)

Iota is the Bob Dallara broken dream, like the W2 is the Gerald Wiegert broken dream.

You're right, it's pretty useless to argue about looks. But when Bertone designed the car they probably had not the spoilers/wings in mind.

I understand the early Miura had problems at high speed (lifting off) so the later versions had to be safer.

Cardesigners are not often happy about facelifts of their cars. They have to make sacrifices for costs and safety.

Just like you have to deal with the limitations of nfs4.

Not exactly.

The Iota is a unique car designed for competition, like the jaguar XJ13, the AC A98 coupe le mans, the Marcos XP Mantis ....etc
Technically, it's a kind of Gr4. Larger, lighter, hell faster ... etc

WiLL, now you will be able to play billiards on the asphalt.

Cooya!

Wow! It looks amazing again!
But although I know that it is not really correct on the original Jota car, I would love to see the roof spoiler from the "resto-SVJ" as a convertible option. It brings variety and looks supercool ;)

SVJ have air intakes in the side sills, rectangular rear lights, custom rims, only one tank cap, grill like alfa 33 stradale behind the rear wheel ....




it's an iota-style make-up with free exhaust for the show-offs ::)

Once is not custom and it will spend more time, but I can add 2 upgrades the classic Miura I mean:

1 Miura P400 (update of my miura
2 Miura P400 SVJ ( 3D  mix between P400 and Iota)
3 IOTA (my current WIP)

Or I can release 3 cars but it will use many serial numbers.




..... did I say it will spend more time.

I myself don´t care much about upgrades for NFS4... as addon cars simply don´t fit the standard career mode and you still lack a 4th version to complete all upgrades...

So I would say: "Go for all three versions as a standalone!" ;)

...But in my completely subjective opinion: the original Jota concept and the 5 factory lookalike builds based on the "SV" called "SVJ" ("J" for "Jota") look soooo damn similar that I would see no use in having them both in the game at the same time. So I would make some kind of a "chimera" of it and would rather add all the SVJ features that makes the cars different as the convertible option. That would be the roof wing, the middle part of the front spoiler, the air intakes of the sideskirt and the bigger taillights and would live with the fact that the rear grill is a little different. So you have the original Jota car but the oportunity to switch to the SVJ as convertible option. I just loooove this option in NFS4 as it is a pretty unique feature that makes a full grid of same-car-opponents look so diverse ;)

Ok, I propose to release the Iota quickly; and next week, I'll release a SVJ, with convertible option to transform it in SVR.
